USCIS

After a year-long overhaul, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has launched a completely redesigned web interface for employers using the Agency’s E-Verify Program.

“This is one more example of the ongoing enhancements we are making to E-Verify,” said USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas.  “The redesigned web interface for E-Verify provides employers more streamlined access and offers an expanded customer support section.  This parallels the Agency’s USCIS.gov redesign last September that ensures continued efficiency and transparency in our services.”

 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a new version of  the Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (Form I-90), is available on the USCIS website.  The new version of the form is dated 8/10/09 and contains more user-friendly features.

Applicants may file Form I-90 electronically (through e-filing), or through the mail to the USCIS Phoenix Lockbox facility.
